Since we abuse TOML table syntax to define function aliases, an identical
function alias can be found more than once in the merged config. The merged
config doesn't preserve the definition order, so we need to load aliases
table per layer.
The `heads()` revset function with one argument is the counterpart to
`roots()`. Without arguments, it returns the visible heads in the
repo, i.e. `heads(all())`. The two use cases are quite different, and
I think it would be good to clarify that the no-arg form returns the
visible heads, so let's split that out to a new `visible_heads()`
function.
This serves the role of limit() in Mercurial. Since revsets in JJ is
(conceptually) an unordered set, a "limit" predicate should define its
ordering criteria. That's why the added predicate is named as "latest".
Closes#1110
@joyously found `o` confusing because it's a valid change id prefix. I
don't have much preference, but `●` seems fine. The "ascii",
"ascii-large", and "legacy" graph styles still use "o".
I didn't change `@` since it seems useful to have that match the
symbol used on the CLI. I don't think we want to have users do
something like `jj co ◎-`.
The added expect_arguments() is basically a copy from the template_parser.
I'll reimplement it to support keyword arguments, so I don't care much about
the current implementation.
I leave expect_no/one_argument() as wrappers because parsing 0/1 arguments
is pretty common.
Error messages are slightly changed. I personally prefer not to add extra
code for singular/plural handling, but if we do, I'll add 'if N == 1' case.
I don't think need to write non-UTF8 bytes to our config files. If we
ever do (maybe to test that we give the user a reasonable error
message), we add a custom function for that.
This is ugly, but we need a special case because root_change_id and
root_commit_id aren't equal but share the same prefix bytes. In practice,
no one would care for the shortest root id prefix, but we'll need to deal
with a similar problem when migrating prefix id resolution to repo layer.

Actually, it's easier to support these infix ops than erroring out, but I
don't want to make revset syntax more cryptic. "x- y" can't be handled by
this rule because "x-" is parsed as a parents expression.
Because a unary negation node '~y' is more primitive than the corresponding
difference node 'x~y', '~y' is easier to deal with while rewriting the tree.
That's the main reason to add RevsetExpression::NotIn node.
As we have a NotIn node, it makes sense to add an operator for that. This
patch reuses '~' token, which I feel intuitive since the other set operators
looks like bitwise ops. Another option is '!'.
The unary '~' operator has the highest precedence among the set operators,
but they are lower than the ranges. This might be counter intuitive, but
useful because a prefix range ':x' can be negated without parens.
Maybe we can remove the redundant infix operator 'x ~ y', but it isn't
decided yet.
Function parameters are processed as local symbols while substituting
alias expression. This isn't as efficient as Mercurial which caches
a tree of fully-expanded function template, but that wouldn't matter in
practice.

Aliases are loaded at WorkspaceCommandHelper::new() as it's easier to warn
invalid declarations there. Not all commands use revsets, but many do, so
I think it's okay to always pay the loading cost. Parsing the declaration
part (i.e. a symbol) should be fast anyway.
The nested error message isn't super readable, but seems good enough.
Config syntax to bikeshed:
- naming: [revset-alias] vs [revset-aliases] ?
- function alias will need quotes: 'f(x)' = 'x'
I'm thinking of adding alias expansion at this stage, and it would be a bit
tedious to pass around mutable context by function parameter. So let's reduce
the number of the intermediate functions.
This also produces a better error message.
